Herrick has announced that Milton Springut, an intellectual property practitioner widely regarded for his work on disputes involving computers and electrical systems as well as luxury fashion brands, has joined the firm as partner from Moses & Singer LLP. Springut’s longtime colleague Caroline Boehm, a trademark and copyright lawyer, has also joined Herrick as counsel. In his nearly 30 years of practice, Springut has litigated many patent, trade secret and other IP disputes, drawing on his background developing computer hardware and software systems for Bell Telephone Laboratories. His clients range from startups to Fortune 500 companies, on matters involving technologies such as computer processors, mobile payments, e-commerce, telephony, video systems and medical devices. Springut is also known as one of the nation’s leading litigators of trademark, counterfeiting and “gray goods” cases for luxury brands and fashion houses. His results in this area include securing the first award of statutory damages for counterfeit goods under the Anti-Counterfeiting Act of 1996. Boehm brings deep experience in trademark and copyright matters, the focus of her work. Practicing frequently in front of the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, Boehm regularly advises clients on trademark searching and clearance, registration, maintenance and general strategy. Before Boehm worked together with Springut at Moses & Singer, they practiced alongside each other at Springut Law P.C.
